Chapter 46: Born in troubled times
The Taoist protector said he would do it, and he immediately took action. Someone went to the state of Chu to persuade the monarch of the state of Chu to put pressure on the state of Qi; Someone went to South Korea and lobbied South Korea to send troops; Someone went to the country of Zhao and stated the benefits...... The protectors who stayed by Zhuang Zhou and Qing'er's side changed a few unfamiliar faces.
All say that there is nothing to do, in fact! It didn't come to them to take the initiative. When it comes to taking the initiative, when they can't avoid it, they take the initiative more than anyone else.
The Qi State and the Cheetah Team of the Qi State have seriously affected the survival of Taoists and Taoists, so it's no wonder that they don't make a move!
This is a foreseeable danger, not an imaginary one. So! Taoist Dharma protectors are more active than anyone else.
Watching the actions of the Taoist priests, Zhuang Zhou gradually gained a new understanding of Taoism.
A few days later, the wound on his shoulder was scarred. The wound on Sister Qing'er's arm has also been scarred. After a few more days, the two reappeared in the grove, practicing their fists and feet, and practicing their swords together.
After the previous incident, Zhuang Zhou was better for Sister Qing'er. Qing'er was also completely relieved of Zhuang Zhou, and the two of them were more able to cooperate better when they practiced double swords.
In addition to practicing boxing and swords, the two of them usually soak in the big pulpit of the hundred schools of thought, listening to the predecessors explain the doctrines of Taoism, Moism, Confucianism, famous masters, legalists, soldiers and other hundred schools of thought. Regarding the doctrine of the hundred schools of thought, the two of them sometimes understood it, and sometimes they couldn't. They can understand simple truths. For the professional aspect, they don't understand.
Education in ancient times, unlike modern education, was self-taught in this environment. If you have the heart to learn, you will become a god, and if you don't like to learn, you will not learn anything.
Zhuang Zhou and Qing'er both listened carefully to take revenge and revenge for their father's mother. Especially Zhuang Zhou, he wanted to know what was wrong with the Mohist thoughts, and how they were misinterpreted by the spies. So! He listened more attentively.
Autumn passes quickly and enters early winter.
It has been more than half a year since Shi Gong Poultry Slippery went to Pengcheng, and there is still no news about Shi Gong Poultry Slippery. There is no news of the little junior sister, and Zhuang Zhou misses his master and the little junior sister very much. No matter what fault Shi Gong Yu has and is used by spies, he will not hold a grudge against him. The master has nurtured him, and he will remember it for the rest of his life.
The Mo family has undergone such a big change, and Zhuang Zhou is even more worried about the little junior sister. Where is the little sister now? Is she with her master?
The little sister grew up with him, and since she could speak, she called him "Brother Zhuang" all day long. Without this little tail, without anyone calling him "Brother Zhuang", Zhuang Zhou really wants to feel that way.
The early winter in Mengxian County is still very cold. Zhuang Zhou often sat alone in the sunrise and basked in the sun, thinking about his master and little sister.
Qing'er's grandfather, Yang Zhu, has not been heard from since that mysterious "disappearance". Even the Taoist protector didn't know where he had gone, dead or alive?
Zhuang Zhou was very worried, Yang Zhu went to the Tibetan Scripture Cave and fell into the mechanism inside. But he doesn't know how to play in the water, and he doesn't know if he can climb up like Sister Qing'er? And also! You can't tell anyone about the cave. Even if Yang Zhu entered the scripture cave and fell into the trap, he had no choice.
May he be safe!
Zhuang Zhou prayed in his heart.
Qing'er's grandfather Yang Zhu is not an idle person, he should be fine, and his worries are unnecessary. Furthermore! What if he hadn't gone to the cave? So! After a long time, he forgot about it.
In addition to thinking about his master and little sister, Zhuang Zhou also thought about another person, that is, the masked woman. As always, he still thinks that the masked woman is his own mother.
The cry of "Zhuang'er" is something that no one can imitate. Only his own mother can call out such a voice. There is a mother's love, trust, support, strength and sustenance in that voice, which others cannot imitate.
"Mother? Where are you! Mother! Zhuang'er misses you! Mother! Zhuang'er is obedient! Zhuang'er has been working hard, practicing swords and boxing, learning survival skills, reading, and learning new knowledge. Mother! Why don't you come back? Why don't you take Zhuang'er with you? Mother? Where's my dad? Is my dad really dead? Mother......"
Thinking of his mother, Zhuang Zhou's eyes moistened. Before I knew it, two big tears fell.
"Brother! Woowoo woo ......"
Qing'er put her hands on Zhuang Zhou's shoulders and squatted down.
She didn't know when she came to Zhuang Zhou's side, and Zhuang Zhou didn't know.
She had been here for a long time, and when she saw Zhuang Zhou quietly distracted, she hid aside and peeked. Originally! She wanted to play a joke with Zhuang Zhou and scare him. Outcome! Seeing Zhuang Zhou crying, she also cried. She guessed that Zhuang Zhou must be thinking about someone, he must be thinking about his father.
She also misses her father and grandmother, and she misses her grandfather Yang Zhu!
Her father and mother were gone when she couldn't remember, and her grandfather Yang Zhu was always like this, quietly leaving her alone. As a child, it was rare for her to live with her grandfather. She has been living in exile all the time, and she has almost run all over the vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She wants to have a stable life, she wants to have a few partners of the same age, and she wants to live like a normal child......
But! Her fate was tied to her grandfather Yang Zhu, to Taoism, and she couldn't do it herself.
In order to propagate Taoist doctrine and ideas, his grandfather Yang Zhu fought against the Mohists, Confucianism, various princes, and traitors under the princes. His life was a life of being hunted down, hunted down and killed by the Mohists, plotted by a very small number of people in Confucianism, and hunted down and expelled by some princes; Deal with the traitors and villains under the princes, fight wits and courage......
Her fate is tied to that of her grandfather, Yang Zhu.
"I miss my mother! Woowoo woo ......"
Seeing Sister Qing'er crying, he also let go of his throat and cried.
Two poor children, one ten and nine years old, and the other nine and eight years old, hugged each other and wept bitterly.
When the sun in the sky saw the two poor children, they couldn't bear it, and hurriedly summoned a white cloud to block their eyes. The sky suddenly darkened a lot, and there was no sunlight shining on it, and people couldn't help but feel a chill all over.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the north wind blew violently, and countless leaves suddenly flew in the sky. The leaves of the trees, driven by the wind, beat against people's faces.
The birds in the woods suddenly heard a wail.
"I miss my mother too! I miss my dad! Grandfather! Where are you! Qing'er misses you! Grandfather! Woowoo woo ......"
The people in the big pulpit of the hundred schools of thought heard the crying, and they didn't know what was going on, and those who knew martial arts flew in one by one. When I saw the two poor children, I couldn't help but cry sadly.
Born in troubled times, in this world, how can Zhuang Zhou and Qing'er be two orphans? In the Great Zhou world, orphans are everywhere!
